We'll be back on Monday....Well everybody will be here except JJ and Ruby.......

Hype,

Ren Nay Nay

P.S. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!!!!

Whatever!

The pressure is on! You currently have 5-days to make magic happen for your family. You're about to burst at the seams from stress and aggravation. You still don't have Uncle Wally's argyle socks wrapped and little Jimmy continues to add more toys he'll never play with, to his holiday wish-list.



And that's just the Christmas presents! We haven't even talked about the decorating, cooking, cleaning and entertaining. It's a magical time of the year, so long as you don't run the household.



But does it have to be that way? For years I watched my mum slave away for weeks leading up to Christmas, both in the mall and then in the kitchen. Now that I'm older, I see the other side of the situation, and if you're the one everyone depends on to make the holidays perfect, that's not a nice position to be in.



So I was totally blown away the other day while watching a holiday cooking show. At the end, the host wished everyone a happy holiday, but also made a clear point of stressing how it's not about making everything perfect.



That was probably the most refreshing thing I've seen on TV in years and the sad thing is, it takes some dude on TV to tell you to relax, for the point to sink in.



Yes, the holidays are about amazing sights, sounds, food and drink, but even a new poll echoes Ricardo's sage advice, with almost all Canadians agreeing, the most important part of the holidays is quality time with loved ones.



So this is your chance to break free from the crushing stress and enjoy the holidays! If you're cooking and scorch the turkey, overcook the carrots or make lumpy gravy, who cares! If its really that bad, there's always pizza!



If little Jimmy doesn't like what Santa left him, too bad, he'll get over it, too!



And if you're not celebrating the holidays, enjoy the time off! If you're one of the many people out there working over the holidays, I hope your shifts go by quick and people leave you lots of tips.



Either way, I sincerely wish all of you and your families a very Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year, which is the next time you'll hear from me!





But Whatever!

Today was JJ's " King of Town" last day before he sets out for his vacation.... Where is he going, nobody knows.... Ms.Melanie won't admit it but she's going to miss JJ.

P.S. Of course I'll miss JJ

Whatever!

Over the last few years, I've had some difficulty accepting my age. Not that I look or feel old or anything, it's just that the numbers are getting higher and it's kinda freaking me out.



But the one good thing about being older is I get fewer presents at Christmas. Let me make it very clear, I'm NOT saying I don't want lots of presents, but as you age, the holiday haul tends to take a plunge.



If you're in the same boat, we should consider ourselves lucky for that because I can't help but notice that packaging these days has become a skill-testing activity or borderline extreme sport!



I'm so thankful I have all my digits and don't have arthritis, because some of the bubble-dome, crazy twist-tie and wire-strapped products out there are damn near impossible to free from their manufacturing bondage.



It's takes great skill, patience, a big knife, a saw, scissors, a crowbar, a hammer, and a whole lot of time to open packaging these days without being maimed!



And whoever came up with this stuff anyway?



The person that thought of a 5mm-thick piece of molded plastic, cocooning the prized product inside like a relic in a museum, should be fired!



Sure, it looks nice, but thousands of sliced-open hands and fingers later should prove that its not exactly a user-friendly way of packaging.



I'm sure it saves businesses lots of room on the truck, so they can haul more for a lot less. But if I break another light bulb trying to get it out of its plastic prison, I'm going to scream!



What the hell is wrong with the good, old fashioned cardboard box anyway? Not only is it more environmentally friendly to make, it won't take-off your fingers as you pry it open. It requires virtually no skill to get inside and more times than not, turns out to be an awesome new plaything for your pets or kids!



So here's one example where I think we can look back to the olden days with envy and think why can't things be like they used to?

Whatever!

I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to the holidays! Besides hanging out with friends and family I haven't seen in a while, the eating of fabulous food and the drinking of merry-making beverages, there's another thing to get excited about!



It's called Pajama Day! I don't know if any of you ever do this, but sometimes, you just roll out of bed whenever, and don't bother to get dressed for the entire day! You eat cookies for breakfast and pancakes for dinner and you just don't care!



One of the best parts of this day of total freedom, is loafing on the couch and watching TV. But I gotta tell you, the people running the hundreds of stations out there are really dropping the ball!



I have like 900 channels, most of which are repeats, and it seems like there's never anything on!



Over the years, we've seen a lot of new specialty channels launched and some of them are quite good. However, there are others that are just plain infuriating! And there are 2-in particular that I cannot tolerate under any circumstances.



One rhymes with Heeva, the other sounds like Haction and there have been numerous times both of these specialty channels have been playing movies that I wanted to watch, but just couldn't sit through because of a commercial break every 7-minutes.



If you've ever watched either of these channels, you know what I'm talking about! What's worse, is they just randomly break for their annoying ads! Someone will be in an intense round of dialogue, or running from a rabid dog and bang! Into a word from our sponsors!



What's even funnier about these channels is, you used to have to pay like 3-bucks a month for them and now, they're included in your cable package. Even so, they've lost me as a viewer for good, because they don't put my needs first, and that's a big no-no anytime, especially on Pajama Day!



And before I go, a big thanks goes out to the nice guy on the bus this morning who was handing out free chocolates to everyone getting on! I must say, even though I have a serious tummy ache right now, Ferrero Rocher's are the breakfast of champions!

Today's topic is all about the joys of massive snowfall!



You're probably thinking I'm totally crazy at this point, but I'm telling you, there's an up-side to everything!



Yes, 26cm of snow, especially in a city like Toronto, can really bring out the beast in some people. Having to climb 4-foot snow-banks to get to your car or the bus stop first thing in the morning can be a drag.



Having to shovel all that snow, then re-shovel when the ploughs come and knock it back onto your walk can be quite defeating. And then there’s the sad fact that within hours, the pretty white accumulation turns a dingy grey from all the traffic exhaust.



But again, you gotta laugh at the situation. It's not often us city-folk get rattled, so it's always interesting to see how urbanites react to the kind of weather rural people get on a regular basis.



Honestly, it's kinda serious because drivers and pedestrians alike have to become much more aware of their surroundings, or something tragic can happen.



However, it's kinda fun too! Jumping snow-banks isn't an act I care to partake in every day, but it was fun coming to work yesterday morning. My bus was running on time, but was almost completely empty as it glided down the snow-lined road.



You know the kids are having a ball in this stuff and there's no reason why adults shouldn't jump into the thick, white, blanket of snow to goof around and be young again!



And it's times like these that we become more connected, and goodwill reigns supreme as we help each other dig out from the snow, or push stalled cars down the road.



Besides, if I wasn't house-bound due to the snowstorm this weekend, I never would've learned that buying pate is the way to go. Because making it yourself, is just plain nasty!

I was flipping through one of the papers yesterday and had to burst out laughing at the absolute, never-ending stupidity some people are capable of.



I suppose it's not nice to call someone stupid, but I can't think of a more appropriate word to describe the latest invention someone created for the more-than-pampered pooch out there.



Over the years, we've seen an alarming boom in the pet 'fashion' industry and here's hoping it's reached its plateau with the creation of the 'Puppoose'.



This thing, or sling, is like a purse for your dog, as in, you put your dog in this purse that has openings where their legs fit through and hang outside of the bag. It's pretty much like a baby carrier, except for your really hairy, 4-legged baby, which I thought were meant to walk, but anyway.



To say it looks ridiculous is the understatement of the century, but so are studded leather jackets on a Yorkshire Terrier or a pink dress on your miniature Poodle.



This whole idea of spoiling your pet with jewelry, marrying your pet off to another dog, dressing it up in costumes everyday and buying it a designer bag is, sorry to say, bizarre and slightly crazy!



If you're treating a living, functioning, breathing and thinking being on this planet as a toy, you've missed the mark on how to properly care for a pet.



They bring great joy to people of all ages and are wonderful companions and additions to the family. Growing up, we had tons of animals in our house, from birds and fish, to cats, dogs, gerbils and bunnies. I totally get it!



But what I will never understand is people who lose all touch with reality and humiliate their pets, to feed some kind of strange desire to treat their animal like an accessory.



If it's cold and you want to put a sweater on your dog, that makes sense, but giving it highlights and painting its nails is just plain wrong!



So if that's your idea pampering your pooch, maybe you should ask Santa to bring you a Barbie for Christmas, because at least that's what she was engineered for.



But Whatever!

Whatever!

I was out having dinner with a friend the other night when we couldn't help but hear some of the grossest sounds imaginable coming from the table beside us and it wasn't over a joy of the food.



To set the scene better for you, we were at a restaurant that has little canopies over some of the tables for a more intimate dining experience and that's exactly what this couple was having.



Being someone whose pet peeves include mouth noises, having to hear two lovebirds smacking lips while my friend and I are trying to have dinner was just plain nasty!



I understand a peck here or there, or maybe even a quick round of full-on tongue action. But these guys were non-stop throughout our entire meal!



They had their curtain closed, but there was no doubting what they were up to behind it and you'd think the sounds of us laughing at them, or even the waiter butting-in the curtain to ask them if they needed anything, would serve as a polite reminder to remember where the hell they were!



I'm okay with public displays of affection, but there's definitely a line of good taste that was continuously crossed that night. And I don't care how in love or lust these people were, there's a time and a place for everything and it's called a hotel room!



To put it bluntly, the way these guys were making out sounded like a stack of soaking wet towels hitting a tiled floor. So needless to say, it was just totally gross!



Honestly, these guys were going so strong, I didn't know if we should've paid them for the show, or they should've picked-up our tab for subjecting us to their display of inappropriate passion.



Either way, it was just plain wrong! Though our waiter says he's seen worse go on behind the curtain, so maybe we should consider ourselves lucky!





But Whatever!

Whatever!

Okay, so I got an update for you guys on yesterday's little rant!



To bring you up to speed, I was talking about buying a crappy hair-care product that did nothing for my hair, let alone meet the claims the company made about their product.



So, I sent them an email detailing my experience with their goods and how it left me wanting so much more. And apparently I wasn't the only person to write in!



The offending company in question got back to be the very next day and was very apologetic and even explained where the product may have gone wrong. According to these guys, the last version was so ineffective, they've re-formulated the stuff and I just happened to be unlucky enough to get some of the old stock.



They again apologized and offered to send me a coupon for the same product or to try another one in their line. Since they're trying to correct previous errors, I figure I'll give them another shot.



But the point of this is, sometimes it really pays to complain. I don't mean getting a replacement product. That's just a given.



The customer service person said because of letters like mine, the company was given a heads-up that maybe they needed to go back to the drawing board with their product. And if unsatisfied customers didn't let them know, they'd never be able to fix the problem.



So maybe this is proof that all us consumers are just as responsible for bad products on the market. While we don't make them or outrageous claims about their capabilities, we do continue to buy them and worse, suffer in silence and not let manufacturers know they need to do a better job.



I don't know about you, but I don't have money to burn, so it's up to us to make sure when a suspect good or service hits the market, we let its producers know, so they have a chance to improve it.

P.S Watch out for the winter storm headeding our way. Please drive carefully!!!

Whatever!

About 99 per cent of the time, being a woman is awesome! But that one per cent can sometimes ruin everything for you.



For years, women have been the target of advertisers and marketers because in most households, we do the buying on everyday items.



Through this constant attack on our senses to buy, buy, buy, we're always coaxed into purchasing a wide range of beauty products.



This includes everything from soap and shaving cream to make-up and hair dye. And today's little story is about how I got royally ripped-off at the cash register!



My fabulous hair dresser, Bernie, recently stopped selling a truly wonderful colour shampoo that helped keep my fiery locks nice and red. Left to my own devices, I decided to try a new product to keep my mane looking fresh.



So, I tried it over the weekend and all I'm going to say is, it was completely useless! Not only did it leave zero colour in my hair, it left it looking and feeling greasy!



This is just another example of how women continue to fall victim to false advertising. I know men get the short end of the stick too, but you guys aren't relentlessly targeted in all the commercials like we are.



I guess my main concern about this whole thing is where's the standard? Why isn't their a governing body making these companies accountable for their outlandish claims and inferior products?



Think about it. Over your lifetime, how many things have you paid for that didn't come close to matching their promises or were just totally useless?



Why is this allowed to continue?



These are the questions I'm trying to uncover and I've even sent off a complaint to the offending hair-care company, so I'll keep you posted on how that goes. Though at this point, I'm just really hoping a government power will finally step-up and demand accountability for all us consumers.



But Whatever!

There's always a great debate every year about when you should put up your Christmas tree. Is the first week of December too early? Is the last week of December too late?



I guess it all depends on family tradition or making your own when you move out and start your own family.



So like probably many of you out there, I'm putting my tree up this weekend, with a bit of apprehension.



Being 'Mistress Christmas', you'd think I'd be all over the idea of getting my place decorated, but this year, I kinda lacking the spirit.



It's so bad right now, I think I'm going to have to ingest spirits to really get into the whole ordeal, because when you break it down, it is a big task!



Pulling out all those boxes, unwrapping all those glass balls, bells, lights, candy canes and wreaths and then positioning them oh-so-perfectly on the tree can be a little daunting, if not time consuming and slightly irritating after a while.



The other thing that bothers me about this whole decorating of the tree business, is every year I buy new lights. Since I'm petrified they'll run-out midway through the holidays and I'll have to strip, then re-dress my tree, a fresh set of lights are a must.



But I'm sort of in the dumps because I can't find the ones I like. They have all these different flicker and glowing settings and they're so much fun! However, it seems they've been replaced by some other kind of creation meant to win us over at the cash register this year.



My mum thinks I'm not into Christmas yet because I'm getting older and realizing the holidays are indeed, a lot of hard work to pull-off. She's probably onto something there, but I figure it's nothing a little spiked eggnog, my Christmas Log DVD and some holiday tunes can't fix.



But if you hear tormented screams and a whole lot of cursing coming from the north end of the city this weekend, don't worry, it's only me putting up my tree!

When you turn on the TV or listen to music, sometimes it's hard to tell what's real.



Thanks to computers, there are so many ways of making people sound good, look good or bring mythological and sci-fi characters and situations to the screen and make them look like real-life.



While things like that can be totally mind-blowing and entertaining, something has got to be said for old fashioned, unquestionable, stand alone talent.



I saw that before my very eyes last week when I was lucky enough to catch a showing of Irving Berlin's White Christmas at the Sony Centre.



I've always been a fan of dance performances and listening to good singers, but this was as top-notch as you can get.



Not only were the sets and costumes beautiful and amazing to look at, the talent of everyone on that stage was stunning.



To see someone do an incredibly complicated tap routine in a way that makes it look like their floating across the stage, really is something to behold. So is someone gracefully belting out a tune with so much force and control, but making it look and sound effortless.



And the saddest part about this, is we don't get to see this stuff nearly enough. Toronto is a city of culture and there's always something going on, but a lot of us don't take advantage of it.



I'm pretty guilty of that, but when I do head out to see a show as truly wonderful as White Christmas is, it's a good reminder that the art and skill of live performance is still alive and well in our world, that seems to be overrun with lame movies, formulaic music videos, and over-the-top video games.



Sometimes getting back to the old fashioned basics is the most refreshing and enlightening thing you could ever expose yourself to.



So here's a challenge for you, instead of spending another 40-bucks for a night at the movie theatre, expand your horizons and open yourself up to real, live talent! It's definitely out there. All you got to do is be open to it!

Whatever!

Being somebody in broadcast news, you'd think I'd know at least a little bit about a lot of things. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I thought I did.



But apparently there's a massive shortage of a holiday fruit that nobody told me about! Or maybe there's been wide-spread bladder infections, causing victims to guzzle all the cranberry juice in the land, thus sapping the berry supply.



Some of you may have been listening last week when I put out the call for information on fresh cranberries. And several of you were even kind enough to do some research and email me back on where I could find some.



Alas, I wasn't able to pick-up any over the weekend, but I did call my regular grocery store to see if they were getting a shipment anytime soon. The lovely produce man I spoke with said they'd be getting a delivery on Sunday.



Because of the weather, I figured I'd give them a day, so I went in on Monday to see if they were stocked-up yet. When I walked in, I vigorously scanned the rows of produce but sadly, couldn’t find any of the familiar bags holding dozens of the tart, red, globes of holiday goodness.



Desperate, I went up to a couple of gentlemen loading displays with fruits and veggies to see if they knew where the cranberries where at.



One of them was a manager of some kind and said they were in the building, they just didn't know where. Then both men started digging through dozens of boxes to find some, and that's when another woman rolled-up with her cart asking if they knew where the cranberries where?



To make a long story less long, they couldn't find them!



So I'm, still stuck without cranberries! I can get frozen, I can get dried, but the fresh ones seem to be on the endangered species list and here I am, rapidly approaching Christmas with no lemon cranberry pound cake in sight. It's a sad state of affairs indeed.





But Whatever!

Whatever !

It's a nice time to be a pedestrian in Toronto, or maybe not!



Unless you've already burrowed underground to start hibernating, you no doubt noticed the healthy dash of snow we got over the weekend. I was out for a night on the town with fellow Flow goddesses Sam Mitchell and midday lady Jeni, when the flakes started flying!



No doubt about it, the scene was a gorgeous sight to behold! That was until I stepped out of the house yesterday morning, when it was anything but!



As if coming to work, dark and very early on a Monday morning isn't bad enough, it was painful to watch people clumsily jump sloppy, slushy snowdrifts to get on board the bus because the city didn't do its job.



We were warned last week about how the snow ploughs wouldn't be out like they used to, in order to save cash-starved Toronto a few million dollars. Just keep in mind, you’ll be fined over $100 if you don’t shovel within 12-hours of snowfall.



So how can our Mayor constantly extol the virtues of public transit, biking or walking as an environmentally healthy transportation alternative, when it's practically a death defying practice in this city after a snowstorm?



Sure, it's tough getting around when it's snowy and stuff, but what happened yesterday was unacceptable! Standing at a bus stop 24-hours after heavy snowfall and having to jump 5-feet over the snow and slush to get onto the bus is flat-out ridiculous for a place like Toronto.



Perhaps it's about that time for another generous credit card company to fork-over a wad of cash so the city can run properly and people don't have to fear for their safety. Because here in Toronto, using the sidewalks means you've got a 50/50 shot of a clean getaway, or a broken hip.



Instead of using taxpayers’ money on fancy dinners, art and limo rides, maybe the city should take that cash and invest in public shovels at every intersection.



I don't know about you, but I have no problem cleaning-up the sidewalk while waiting for the bus. At least I'll keep warm and do something for my fellow Torontonians, a basic level of courtesy I thought our elected officials were paid to provide us with.



But Whatever!

It's the last day of November, which means tomorrow is the first of December, which means you have 23-shopping days left until Christmas and don't think for a minute the stores will let you forget it!



The less-than subtle brainwashing of millions to 'give the perfect gift' is well underway and I don't know about you, but I'm starting to get a little nauseous.



I use this bit every Christmas to try to suggest a new way of thinking for our mass-consumer culture. I'm quite guilty of it, but also see a deep need for us to give back in some kind of way, because we live in a world of plenty, and then some.



If you don't give the charity any other time of year, this is the perfect way to do it.



There are loads of worthy organizations out there that can do lots of wonderful things with your hard-earned money, and instead of buying another sweater, toy or gadget that will only be used a couple of times, you can actually change someone's life.



There's one organization in particular that you might like. Oxfam Canada has an amazing website where you can point and click on some really great and affordable things to help out needy people on the other side of the world.



For as little as $15, you can buy a family a live chicken, which doesn't sound like much, but to someone with nothing, they'll be trained in poultry production and learn how to care for the animals so they can sustain themselves in the long-run with food and a means of income.



How cool would it be to buy your uncle a goat this year, or your spouse a donkey? Instead of getting that person on your Secret Santa list a bunch of bath beads, you can pay for programs to teach men and women how to break the cycle of domestic violence and workshops on how women can become more empowered.



If you want to find out more, just log onto www.oxfamunwrapped.ca and see how you can truly make a positive change in someone's life on behalf of a friend or loved-one.



You might also be surprised how honoured that person is to receive such a thoughtful gift this year.

Worst Cars of the Year

It's NOT a good day for the people at Chrysler. "Forbes" just put out its
fourth annual list of the WORST cars of the year . . . and Chrysler
manufactures every single car in the top FIVE.

The rankings are based on four main factors: The number of recalls . . .
"Consumer Reports" reliability rankings . . . deprecation . . . and crash
test ratings. Other factors, like cost and fuel efficiency, are a smaller
part of the rankings.

The five worst cars of the year are, in order: Chrysler Sebring, Dodge
Nitro, Jeep Liberty, Dodge Caliber and Dodge Magnum. Chrysler, Dodge and
Jeep are Chrysler's three brands.
The Sebring finished as the worst car mostly because of SIX recalls this

Overall, eight of the 10 worst cars are American made.

Judging by your response yesterday to our conversation about a recent Toronto District School board study, this topic is far from over.



To bring you up to speed, the TDSB asked grade 7-to-12 students questions about themselves and what they think of their schools and the education system.



On the positive side, most students said they feel safe in their schools, but with 7-in-10 students being non-white, they felt ethnically left-out of the curriculum.



Most of those students said if there was more cultural programming they could identify with, they'd probably do better in school and like coming to class more.



I haven't been in high school for quite some time, so I'm not sure what's going on these days, but I do remember history being quite generic and forgettable, even though I loved the topic.



And talking with morning show super assistant Renee, who's only a few years removed from high school, she brought up an interesting point. The problem isn't necessarily the curriculum, which I think we can all agree needs an update, but more the teacher and how they present the topic.



Some people naturally love and get math and science, while others get and love history and English.



Being someone who never fully comprehended math, I found it incredibly frustrating and failed several times. That was until I went to summer school and found the best math teacher ever who presented all the equations and long division in a way I got.



The same thing goes for history. If a teacher is just going to stand-up at the front of the class and spew a bunch of dates without putting them into context of how they relate to us today, who cares? Students don't get why it should mean anything to them.



I firmly believe there's room in Canadian history lessons to include the many things immigrants have contributed to this country over generations.



While I'm all for getting to know each other and everyone's culture, the simple fact is we are in Canada and we need to know about this country before anyone else’s.

So, I came into work on Monday, proud of myself and bragging to everyone in the studio about how I downloaded music from the internet, all by myself.



You may recall several months ago when I tried doing this for the first time, paid money for songs, downloaded them, but they weren't compatible or something with my MP3 player.



Well, instead of quitting, I gave it another shot!



I was so pleased to find a website over the weekend with all kinds of tunes on it that I could easily point, click and download into my MP3 program.



Everyone in the studio laughed at me like 'this is nearly 2008...We've been doing that for years!"



But for me, Little Miss Technophobe, it was a big deal.



So imagine how totally heartbroken I was to rush home yesterday to listen to the newly transferred beats, only to find they were not the real songs, rather an impression of them, as in muzac or versions of the songs sung by background singers. Some of them were actually quite good and I'm amazed there are people out there paid to sound like Timbaland, Alicia Keyes and even Bruce Springsteen. Even so, I'm like what the hell!



Why must I be continuously chastised, ostracized and brutalized by technology? What did I ever do to it? I never made fun of it in elementary school! The whole concept of technology is to improve things and make people's lives easier.



But still, I continue to get the short end of the electronics stick! I tried coming out of my shell for it, tried getting to know it, tried to understand its needs, and all it wants to do is keep me down!



So all I got to say to that is &^%$ you!



We're done. You're lucky if I ever go online again! Outside of work, I'll never visit your selfish ass again and if I didn't need you to do my job everyday, you'd be dead to me! Hear that technology? Dead to me!

There are so many unsolved mysteries about the opposite sex that continue to baffle scientists and laymen alike. Some generalizations are true and others aren't, like shoes, for example.



Men constantly call-out women for their affinity for footwear, but I know plenty of men out there who have dozens of pairs of sneakers and worship and care for them better then their own wives and girlfriends! Guys will even cough-up over $200 for the hottest pair of new kicks, so I think both sexes are tied in that category.



For me though, I'll never understand why some men who don't bathe and wash their clothes regularly, still expect to get action. I'm thinking maybe they're taking the whole phermones thing overboard, because while it's true I want to smell you, I don't want to SMELL you.



But then we women do weird things like have a different set of underpants for different occasions. Like the daily underoos, ones for that time of the month, ones for a hot date and one's that you reserve for only the most special celebrations. When you add it all up, I've got 40-pairs of drawers, easily!



For Renee, her pet peeve about men is when they don't take care of their feet. I'll have to give her an Amen on that one because if women make sure our toes are polished and looking good, the least you can do is tend to yours once a week as well!



And JJ loves all kinds of things about women, but when you have a heart-to-heart with him, make it snappy! Us ladies tend to go into too much detail when dealing with emotional issues. That can get confusing for men sometimes and it seems as if they'd prefer the Coles Notes version on the whole ordeal.



Boogie has a long list of issues with women's behaviour. The biggest one centres around the toilet seat and how he thinks he doesn't have to put it down. I pointed out that when you buy a toilet, the seat is in the downward position, hence, that's the way it's supposed to be. And maybe if men aimed better, there would be no need to move the toilet seat in any direction.



Just a thought...

Whatever!

It's the day after our first big snowfall of the season and we made it! Though it's a bloody miracle considering how totally ill prepared so many people across the GTA were!



You couldn't go anywhere on Wednesday without hearing or seeing some news-person or meteorologist talking about the loads of snow to come and yet so many of you ignored it!



I guess it's the mentality that if you don't acknowledge something, it doesn't exist. Well what a cold and brutal wake-up call you must've had yesterday! Hmmm?



There were hundreds of crashes across our glorious land and why? We warned you about the rain turning to freezing rain, mixed with ice pellets and then soon to be followed by at least 5 centimetres of snow.



But noooo, you had to go ahead and disregard the warnings of putting on your snow tires, properly cleaning off your car, waking-up extra early for your morning commute and driving much, much slower.



So if you were one of those hundreds of people involved in mostly single-car crashes yesterday, I'm sorry your insurance is about to go up. But it's not like we didn't tell you so!



And I also have to make a quick note about winter fashion, or a lack thereof. For the love of God, I will never understand why teenagers, mostly girls, particularly the ones who have to wear uniforms, insist on running around half-naked in this weather!



Here's a tip kiddies, if it's below 10 degrees, your skin should be covered up. If your bare legs are turning a reddish-purple from walking outside, that means it's cold and you need to put some damn stockings on and for crying out loud, stop hiking-up your skirts! It's unladylike and honestly, less attention-getting tactics, is more.

10 Most Germiest Places

THE 10 GERMIEST PLACES

From Health.com

After hearing this, you may want to consider serving your meals in the bathroom and bathing in the trashcan.

10) Your bathtub. With about 100,000 bacteria per square inch, your tub is actually more germy than most trashcans. Once a week, scrub the tub down with disinfecting cleaner. Don’t forget to dry the tub, since germs are less likely to thrive on a dry surface. If someone in your house has a skin infection, wipe down the tub with a solution of two tablespoons bleach and one quart water.

9) Mats and machines at health clubs. At high schools, antibiotic-resistant-staph infections have been transmitted through wrestling mats. The same thing could happen at health clubs. Wipe down everything with disinfectant before and after using it, or use a towel as a buffer. Also, take a good hot, soapy shower after working out.

8) The playground. There’s just no way to put this delicately: Children tend to ooze bodily fluids (blood, mucus, saliva, urine) and then spread them around. Plus, kids tend to put their fingers in their mouths and noses more than the rest of us, so it’s easy to understand why Junior (and maybe his mom or dad) has the sniffles. Make hand sanitizer your new best friend. Also, pick warm, sunny days to be outside since the sun is actually a very good disinfectant.

7) Your handbag. Or makeup bag, guy’s wallet, personal digital assistant, etc. Whenever possible, hang your bag on a hook, not the floor. Leather and vinyl purses are best with fewer porous surfaces. Try to wipe it down with a disinfectant wipe every few days, and never set your purse on the counter.

6) ATM buttons. These tested worse than public restroom doorknobs. And the money that comes from the machines isn’t a whole lot better. Best advice: use hand sanitizer after using an ATM.

5) Shopping cart handles. Saliva. Bacteria. Fecal matter. Those are just a few of the choice substances found on shopping cart handles. Carts rank high because they’re handled by dozens of people every day and you’re putting your broccoli where some kid’s butt was. Bring along disinfecting wipes, and put things like raw meat into a separate bag.

4) Public drinking fountains. School fountains are the worst, as are cafeteria trays, sink handles, desktops and computer keyboards. Teach your kid to wash hands before and after lunch, after going to the restroom and after using the computer keyboards. Send along hand sanitizer and plenty of their own beverages from home. If schools were to use an antibacterial wipe on each desktop every night, they could cut absenteeism by half.

3) A load of wet laundry. Anytime you transfer underwear from the washer to the dryer, you’re going to get E. coli on your hands. Just one soiled undergarment can spread bacteria to the whole load and the machine. Run your washer and dryer at 150 degrees, wash white with bleach (the real stuff), and dry for at least 45 minutes. Wash your hands after handling laundry and run a cycle of bleach and water between every load to kill off lingering bugs.

2) Airplane Restrooms. No surprise here, but in addition to the many germs that lurk, the volcanic flush of the toilet spews all kinds of unmentionables into the air. Best advice: handle everything you touch with a paper towel and keep your back to the toilet when flushing.

1) Kitchen Sink. There are typically more than 500,000 bacteria per square inch in the drain. That sponge you use to clean the counter? Crawling with bacteria, as are the sink’s basin and faucet handles. What to do? Run your sponges through the dishwasher’s drying cycle and wipe down the sink basin, handles and drain twice a week with a solution of one tablespoon bleach and one quart water.

P.S. SNOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY But please drive carefully...

Whatever!

I don't know about you, but I love reading! It's fun! It expands your vocabulary, it keeps your mind working and it’s usually a great way to kill time.



I've read good books, bad books, great books and trashy ones too. I've started reading novels and only made it halfway through because they were so boring. I've started and stopped reading books because they just weren't working for me.



And when you find a book you read cover-to-cover and can't put down, even when it's already half-an-hour past your bedtime, you know you've got a hit in your hands.



And that's when Hollywood rolls in to ruin everything you imagined!



How many times have you said, "Wow, that movie was better than the book!"? I'm guessing probably never.



So why do producers continue to rip our interpretations of a book from our minds and try cramming their formulaic, uninspiring dreck in its place? Their versions leave nothing to the imagination and never fail at omitting the best parts or the most dramatic interactions and build-ups in the novel.



I've seen it happen to recent big-budget movies like Memoirs of a Geisha, The Da Vinci Code and The Devil Wears Prada.



I think the The Color Purple is the only successful book-on-film that easily comes to mind. Kenneth Branagh's version of Hamlet was pretty hot. I'd say the whole Bourne action series as well, except, I've never read the books. And I guess the X-Men series too, but sorry J.J., comic books aren't exactly fine literature.



But anyway, the latest attempt producers are taking, is turning a fabulous and totally hilarious book called JPOD, into a TV series. If you've read the book, you probably share my befuddlement at how the hell it's going to work.



Though, I suppose we should leave it to the professionals, since they know what they're doing. I'm just really hoping this isn't another stab in the dark that lands in my eye, because I've already had my senses dulled by too many adaptations that make me want to poke my own eyes out to find some kind of relief.

Whatever!

WHATEVER!!!



Everybody's got their favourite TV show and one of mine happens to be The Mercer Report.



Being a fan, or foe, of politics, I really enjoy it when anyone takes a bite out of over-paid, spoiled-rotten politicians who think they're too good for just about everything. And for some reason Rick Mercer does it so well and most of the time, we agree on things, which is always a plus!



So on last night's show, former Prime Minister Jean Chretien was on, plugging his memoirs. You may have heard several weeks back when some excerpts from his book were released to tantalize the public to buy, buy, buy!



One of the leaks included Chretien bashing his replacement, Paul Martin. He never did much for me, nor did Chretien, and its a well known fact these guys did not like each other, back-stabbed on another and split the Liberal party in at least two-warring factions over their mutual spitefulness.



I understand in an autobiography, you tackle touchy and controversial topics that sprouted-up in your lifetime, but something has got to be said for good taste.



In now scandal-plagued former PM Brian Mulroney's book, he bashed Pierre Trudeau, another former Prime Minister, who's been 6-feet under for years and clearly unable to contest Mulroney's claims.



Such a move is so clearly lame and beyond embarrassingly gauche, but you have to give some points in this unsportsmanlike game to Chretien, for at least talking trash about a man who's still alive and able to defend his name.



Granted, honour isn't something most politicians have, especially the high ranking ones.



But you'd think these one-time leaders of our country, high-powered men and their millions of dollars and fancy life-styles would have some kind of class. And yet here's another example of how money can't buy everything.

Whatever!

If you ventured out of the house on Sunday and into Toronto's downtown core, you were either as happy as a pig in pooh, or irritated beyond belief.



Unfortunately for me, I was not the former.



I was rushing to meet Flow's fabulous afternoon traffic goddess, Samantha Mitchell, at the Argos game, when dozens of ‘little people’ slowed-up my progress and goal of getting to the Dome on time.



Now, you'll have to forgive me for my attitude. I'm not a parent. I don't plan on being one in the very near future and it's not that I don't like kids, it's just sometimes they get in the way, which I find is the fault of their parents more times than not.



When it's an incredibly busy day in a large city like Toronto, it's imperative you watch children like a hawk. They have a habit of wondering off in their cute, little way. And sometimes they dart into pedestrian traffic when their parents should be keeping them on a tighter leash.



And when I say leash, I don't actually mean a leash. Though I have seen some parents strap on those harness-thingies on their small children, which is weird and no doubt emotionally scarring in some way.



But I digress.



The point of this is the commute on the TTC was much more nerve-wracking than it should've been because it seemed like 3/4s of the people riding the train had never been on it! They didn't get the concept of putting their kids in a seat, or moving their strollers away from the door so people could get on and off, or even organizing themselves and their gear so people could actually stand on the train in relative safety.



Again, I'm sure I'm angering a lot of parents out there, but too bad! I used to baby-sit and have taken care of quite a few children in my day and gone on trips with them and such. I know it's a chore to get kids around on public transit. Even so, you've still got to show some consideration for the people around you.



And that especially includes the mall!
